Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 319 People


The volume of a square pyramid can be calculated with the formula below, where s represents the side length of the base and h

represents the height of the pyramid.V = 3 2hRewrite the equation in terms of s.​

Answered by admin @



Answer:

s=\sqrt{\frac{3V}{h}}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a square pyramid is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}s^{2}h

where

s is the side length of the square

h is the height of the pyramid

Solve for s

That means -----> isolate the variable s

Multiply by 3 both sides

3V=s^{2}h

Divide by h both sides

\frac{3V}{h}=s^{2}

take the square root both sides

s=\sqrt{\frac{3V}{h}}
